Chapter 1040: Xuan Hao is... A Soul Ascension Realm Expert!?

As the four of them finished catching up with each other, Bai Ning could not help asking this as he realized that their master was nowhere to be seen.

"I'm in secluded cultivation for the foreseeable future. Other than coming out every now and then to teach all of you, I will be spending most of my time focused on cultivating. If you really have something important to inform me about, you can go to my room at the core of the palace." Having partly followed along in their conversation since his return, Xuan Hao decided to answer Bai Ning's question, while also taking the opportunity to inform them that he would be in secluded cultivation for the foreseeable future.
